      Jews can be white-passing and Israelis live a quality of life similar, if not better, than most Americans.

      Seeing Israelis get killed is almost like seeing Europeans or Americans getting killed. People from Europe and America knew people who were killed in Israel. I know people, who knew people that were killed in Israel (none myself.)

      I don’t know a single person who even knows anyone in Sudan. Like it or not, these relationships will affect a nations response to global crises.

          Hello, I’m an Israeli person
          But yea, most Israeli Jews are not Ashkenazi and actually are Mizrahi jews, you can Google it if you feel like it.

      Israel has a sizeable Western immigrant population. 20% of Jewish Israelis are from America and Europe.

      ^ this - people keep making this assumption and it’s tiring. None of the groups involved in the conflict have European origin. Having diaspora that migrated to Europe ≠ being European or white

        You can trip and fall all you want on the barriers to understanding what I said, that you’ve placed in front of your own way, but I think it was pretty clear what I meant.

        Go ahead and pretend all that you want, that black people get equal treatment, and that still won’t make it come true.

        If you have any friends, go ask them about each of these locales, and wonder why your friends know less about the Sudanese then the Israelis. Is it because maybe isrealis are intrinsically tied to western society via the biblical relationship??? Omg don’t trip dude! Everything is equal don’t forget!!
